Large-leaved boxwood
Since boxwood has so many advantages, what will happen after making it into a bonsai? First of all, the variety of boxwood is very rich, so that you can make a lot of strange shapes, different shapes also have different charms, so so many varieties of boxwood, in the end what variety to choose to make bonsai is the most appropriate? Which kind of boxwood is the most precious? I'm going to talk to you about it.
classify:
I believe that many people have heard of the distinction between large-leaf boxwood and small-leaf boxwood, in fact, large-leaf boxwood it is not really boxwood, but in many areas there are only the name of boxwood, this large-leaf boxwood also has a name, that is holly. Belongs to a kind of plant of the Venom family, the price is particularly cheap, the most common operation is to use it as a greening for breeding, so generally speaking, it is not a good tree that is very suitable for making bonsai, and the advantage is only the price. But the small-leaf boxwood is different, this small-leaf boxwood we can divide it into bird's tongue boxwood or watercress boxwood, and melon seed boxwood or pearl boxwood and so on. Among these boxwoods, most of the bird's tongue and melon seeds live in the stone crevices along the stream, so they also have the name of water boxwood. But pearl boxwood is very different, that's because most of this pearl boxwood grows on high mountain tops, so it is also called alpine boxwood.

How to distinguish:
When distinguishing boxwood, first look at the small-leaf boxwood, generally the leaves of this plant are relatively small, the plant is also shorter, and the previous large-leaved boxwood can be clearly distinguished, but at present, in these small-leaf boxwood is still a more difficult to distinguish, so this requires us to study their respective characteristics.
The first is the finch tongue boxwood, which is characterized by the fact that the leaves are lattice, like an inverted lanceolate shape, and the top is round, which may be somewhat lacking, and the appearance is like a finch tongue, so it will be called a finch tongue boxwood. Another kind of melon seed boxwood is also distinguished, first of all, the shape of the leaves, like the shape of the melon seeds, the appearance of the top is slightly off-the-top sharp, and it is still oval.
If we can't distinguish between the leaves, then we can look at the villi growing on the leaves. In the early stage, there is fluff but it will fall off, then he is a bird's tongue boxwood, if he has been growing fluff and does not fall off, it is a melon seed boxwood. If it is pearl boxwood, it is easy to distinguish, when distinguishing pearl boxwood, mainly to see the branches, pearl boxwood branches have fish scales cracked forehead shape, giving people a very simple and vigorous feeling, but the leaves are also particularly crystalline, just like pearls.

What kind of boxwood is more precious:
In fact, this small-leaved boxwood belongs to the more precious plants, but the most precious is still the pearl boxwood is the most precious. However, this kind of pearl boxwood is more difficult to feed, and it is difficult to feed successfully after transplanting. This may be due to the influence of its origin, in the past when the pearl boxwood is living on the top of the mountain, we transplanted it to the bottom of the mountain, due to environmental changes, people began to slowly try to transfer the pearl boxwood, first to the middle of the mountainside breeding, and then transplanted to the bottom of the mountain to breed, it took a lot of effort to feed successfully. If we want to cultivate pearl boxwood when we are curing, then we first need you to consider the problem of air humidity, which is why you need to spray water frequently, or use an air humidifier at home, so as to ensure that it barely survives.
Because this pearl boxwood is particularly difficult to maintain, it also belongs to a very rare plant, not to mention that in reality, even the Internet is difficult to see, and this pearl boxwood is also a frequent extinction of the plant, so in the usual time to see, the price will be higher. Of course, as long as it is a boxwood variety, the price of better shape is definitely not cheap.

In fact, no matter what kind of boxwood we breed, as long as it is very good to cultivate our own, since it can be maintained, then it means that you also have a fate with it, as for what kind of variety it is in the end, you should not be so rigorous, as long as it is a good-looking plant that you like.
